The University Enhanced Learning Technology Team (ELTT) have also produced induction modules to promote the use of E-Assessment, including Turnitin / Grademark. Both induction modules are available to staff and can be used by all Schools to either induct students or train staff in the basics of using Learning Central. Please self-enrol here https://learningcentral.cardiff.ac.uk . Just log into Learning Central , identify a portlet with a purple ELTT logo called Staff Learning Central Induction / Refresher on the home page. This will allow you to self-enrol on to the modules to gain access to the resources available for both staff and students.
The staff module covers various topics including:

- getting help and support with Learning Technology
- how to use various methods of E-Assessment, including Turnitin/Grademark, as well as how to give effective feedback online
- Also there are preliminary resources on obtaining module feedback electronically.
